Yeah. Spring.

I'll have to double-check the hen-raising manual...but pretty sure there was no chapter on this. HELLO SPRING! Good to see you, too!

Old bread becomes $5 worth of bread crumbs in a minute or two (minus the wait to dry on the oil heater 😏). Does anyone else find that bread crumbs are the one thing you wish you had in the pantry but never do!? So annoying. This will become shake & bake for chicken, fish, etc.

Meanwhile, in my tiny home winter cave...heirloom artichokes, tomatoes, peppers, Korean Pine and Highbush cranberries gettin' some love. On a related note: a proper nursery is long overdue. Been breeding and selecting according to "landrace" principles to create Zone 2, short-season hearty seeds, but not taking any chances with my personal inventory this year. Green tomato salsa and Newfoundland "Chow" was great, but looking forward to a proper tomato/pepper harvest this year.

Little Pond on the Prairie tagged me for this 30 Day Happiness Challenge...sure, why not. Post one picture each day for 30 days of things that make you happy. I'm passing this on to Cater Corner Poultry, the happiest poultry breeder I know.

My first pic is a winter project of building out a - yes, waterproof - backsplash for a hanging sink in my tiny house bathroom. Not yet finished, obviously, but yeah, for me happiness is just making things happen with whatever you got. In this case, pallet wood and old lumber. Fun.

TOP-DOWN ENGINEERING MEETS BOTTOM-UP. If you ever want to exercise your creative DIY muscle, I highly recommend backing yourself into a corner. The trick is making it look good...lol. So much fun.

WINTER ARRIVES. CHICKIES ARE ALL TUCKED INTO THEIR INSULATED EGG FACTORY. Silly things...I had to shut them in tonight, as they keep laying eggs in the frozen dirt outside their winter house. Denile is not just a river in Egypt...get with program, pretties...winter...hellooooo...🤦‍♂️

LAST STORE BOUGHT (WHITE) EGG...grateful my hens have finally started laying their typical brown eggs. I am scratching my head a bit, though, as their "first" two eggs were pure white, and laid in a spot the these other ones (brown) weren't. Research shows that it is virtually impossible that those first two (white) eggs could have been there's. Sooooo....does beg a few questions... certainly wouldn't be the first time people have snuck into my yard and done some very peculiar things...I hate to think that, but.....anyone have any ideas/experience with multicolor eggs from the same hen(s)??

EGGS! HALLELUJAH! I FEEL A BIT LIKE PAVLOV...A BIT LIKE AN ABSENT-MINDED PROFESSOR, AND A BIT LIKE AN HONOURED STEWARD. They were sure talkative about the whole thing...they actually had sat in their nests, but opted for the hike in the ground they dug weeks ago...🤷‍♂️. Hey, first try, not bad!! You laid eggs, pretties! Better late than never. Grateful.
